It has become a common belief that the manifestation of reality depends at least partly on the mental or energetic state and the practice of the Law of Attraction has become popular for achieving intentions.  Most of us have experienced reality creation in this way when we kept our energy clear and positive.  We are coached that our thoughts create reality and we should keep them positive to bring what we want into being.   

However, it doesn’t work quite this way.  And even if it did, you might not be completely in charge of your moods and feelings.  You don’t know what’s in the unconscious part of your mind.  You may not know how to clear the odd stuff you didn’t mean to create.  You may not feel so empowered by the Law of Attraction. 

There are alternatives.  We can always rely on the super-rational good old hard work.  We can fight our unconscious programming with a million affirmations, or engage in self-development til we rival the Dalai Lama.  I have tried all these things and find them wanting.

You may not realize that you are already empowered, already divine, already magical, and capable of creating a wonderful reality even If you push carts full of baggage, have surprise difficulties you can’t easily rise above, and a childhood that left you with a negative streak a mile wide.

There is a fabulous method to improving life in delightful, magical ways.  It only requires you believe in a higher power.  When you ask for help, the magic can kick in.  You get help and advice.  Connections can be made that you never visualized, synchronicities can occur that you couldn’t consciously orchestrate and you can pull knowledge out of the depths of your unconscious and maybe even out of the ethers and heavens.

What is the higher power?  It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s spirit guides, angels, the higher self or what.  You do have to be less than a complete atheist and admit there is a power higher than your everyday conscious, chattering mind.  You also have to ask.  It is also important to listen to hear guidance, intuition or even ideas that bubble up.

The pressure’s off!  You don’t have to maintain a perfect positive mood.  You don’t have to visualize just so.  You don’t have to know the first thing about how your desire could be fulfilled.  In a bad mood?  It won’t cancel your request for help.  At a loss?  Ask again for directions, advice.  Not completely developed?  No matter! 

Some part of you accesses the divine and can help you find your best job, the clients you need, your lost necklace…  You will have to take action.  That’s what being human is about.  You also have to listen, and most of us are bad at that.  But, you must listen to find out what action to take.

There is a great side effect to this method which is that, with the pressure off and some incremental successes, you will begin to feel more positive, more allowing, more hopeful…all those things the law of attraction gurus recommend.  It’s much easier without comparing  yourself to the perfect pictures.
